The NRL has a revenue share agreement with Sportsbet, not a fixed amount sponsorship - opps I was meant to say partnership. The more betting on NRL via Sportsbet, the more the NRL receive.
Tom Waterhouse was removed from Ch 9 coverage a few years back due to public opinion, this could sway the NRL.
Go Manly
You know what stinks more than that.
Crown offered a massive amount more for the rights and were knocked back in favour of the percentage amounts you spoke of.
Now that just leaves me speechless. How can the nrl talk about kids and footy when they are selling the games soul for money.
They have signed the biggest TV deals etc etc so to take this filthy lucre is so despicable (I'm flustered for a word) as there is plenty of money around.
No wonder the afl is winning the war, especially when it comes to kids on the gold coast.
I was pointed to the nrl website to check last night's score. More than 50 %of the page was a betting advertisement and the rest at the bottom was the game result.
Im now coming to a stage where I will switch off just as moral stand.
It stinks
